Engineering guidebook megaupdate v2 (#33062)

Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information.

Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Portable Generators
Need power? No engines running? The "P.A.C.M.A.N." line of portable generators has you covered.
The "P.A.C.M.A.N." line of portable generators are used to provide emergency or supplemental power to key rooms, areas, or even departments.
They are easy to set up and maintain, and can be used to power critical systems and areas in the event of a power outage.

The J.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. can be found across the station in maintenance shafts, and is ideal for crew to set up themselves whenever there are power issues. Its output of up to [color=orange][protodata="PortableGeneratorJrPacman" comp="FuelGenerator" member="MaxTargetPower" format="N0"/] W[/color] is enough to power a few important devices.
The J.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. can be found across the station in maintenance shafts, and is ideal for crew to set up themselves whenever there are power issues.
Its output of up to [color=orange][protodata="PortableGeneratorJrPacman" comp="FuelGenerator" member="MaxTargetPower" format="N0"/] W[/color] is enough to power a room or two, which can prove invaluable in a place like Medbay or Chemistry in the Medical Department.
Setup is incredibly easy: wrench it down above an [color=green]LV[/color] power cable, give it some welding fuel, and start it up.
Welding fuel should be plentiful to find around the station. In a pinch, you can even transfer some from the big tanks with a soda can or water bottle. Just remember to empty the soda can first, I don't think it likes soda as fuel.
Welding fuel is the only fuel source the J.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. can use, and it can be found in welding fuel tanks across the station, commonly in maintenance areas.

The S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. boasts a larger power output (up to [color=orange][protodata="PortableGeneratorSuperPacman" comp="FuelGenerator" member="MaxTargetPower" format="N0"/] W[/color]) and longer runtime at maximum output, but scales down to lower outputs less efficiently.

The S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N and P.A.C.M.A.N require uranium sheets and plasma sheets as fuel, respectively.
